Santos Football Club is intensifying efforts to bring Neymar back to the club, potentially on a six-month loan or permanent transfer from Al-Hilal. The Brazilian club has reportedly created an AI-generated video narrated by Pelé to persuade the star forward, which was sent to Neymar's staff and has received a positive reaction. Negotiations are said to be in advanced stages, with optimism from Santos that an agreement can be reached. The proposed deal could involve both clubs sharing Neymar's salary, and an announcement is expected soon. The loan would coincide with the remaining term of Neymar's contract with Al-Hilal, which expires in June 2025, though an extension beyond six months is possible. Al-Hilal may not be counting on Neymar for future matches.
